Christopher Luxon’s communication problem

The prime minister got a shock when he saw the media coverage of
his breakfast meeting with Rotorua businesspeople – it talked of
him scolding them about a “parent-child mentality” in
government-business relations, urging “adult” behaviour and
recounting his own attitude in Chicago corporate life. So his
office issued a transcript of the exchange, which didn’t much help.
Duncan Greive, founder of The Spinoff, joins Toby (with a cameo
from Claude AI) to discuss the PM’s communication challenges, and
his ongoing struggle to take any grip of the narrative.(Since this
podcast was recorded, Luxon has apologised for the remarks.)Plus:
